EP76 Hsinchu County | Lion Ridge Finale

Episode 76 crosses into Hsinchu County — first to Guanxi, gateway to the rolling hills where Leofoo Village Theme Park stands with its zebras, giraffes, and roller coasters; then up a winding mountain road to Jianshi and Sima Lake, the most remote Aboriginal village in Taiwan, hidden in a forest of ancient red cypress trees over a thousand years old. Over iconic Hsinchu rice vermicelli and bouncy pork meatball soup, we reach the finale of the Lion Camel Ridge arc: Buddha himself shows up to collect his escaped animals, reveals the golden-winged roc is his own relative, and the most dangerous demon fortress in the whole Journey finally falls.
